Its incredible how much changes Mandani is doing to benefit the citizens. I start to wonder what the prior mayors was even doing.

The right is making him out to be the literal anti-Christ. Which is a strong signal that he will actually be effective at making positive change.

Why stop at mayors? How about legislators... city, state, and federal, hell, what about governors and presidents?

The last productive mayor New York had was Bloomberg. Then we had a leftist idiot (who did, granted, pass universal pre-K). Then we had a reactionary centrist muppet (who did, granted, pass some decent pro-development policies). So over a decade of bad executives coming to power with one or two good ideas that they implemented in their first year and then became pests.

This was actually started federally under Biden, but thrown out as soon as Trump came in

So many other similar examples, like Bank Overdraft Fee Caps, Credit card late fees, personal data safeguards, and so much more.

It’s incredible how much virtue signaling this is. He has no power to enforce it - I’d just ignore him anyway, nothing he can do about it.
